“Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of Creation), before We clove them asunder? And We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe”? (21:30 Qura’n).

No one "discoverd" the Big Bang - it is a theory, not a fact - just like evolution.
If you believe in God and believe that God created the universe you can still believe in the Big Bang theory - it may be the method in which He created the universe.
But to believe in the Big Bang theory without believing in God is a Big Mistake. "Nothing" cannot begat something, whether it is the universe, or life. To believe that out of nothing all of a sudden something came into existence defies good science. Even science iteself had to start somwhere - it could not come out of nothing!
Life did not begin in some premordial ooze as the result of a reaction between certain chemicals catalyzed by sunlight. That theory is sheer stupidity and requires more faith to believe than it does to believe in God.

The Big Bang was a natural implication (it came out of the theory) of Einstein's GENERAL Theory of Relativity (not to be confused with the special theory of relativity). Interestingly enough, Einstein didn't believe it at first. He proposed a "cosmological constant" term to re-normalize that part of the theory (at that time he believed in a static, unchanging universe). Later, he called the "cosmological constant" the biggest blunder of his career. His theory was screaming an inherent feature of the natural universe at him and he had refused to listen to it!
As stated in the first respondents answer, Edwin Hubble later proved that the universe is expanding by measuring the shift of light from distant stars towards the red end of the spectrum (meaning the light waves were being stretched by the inflation of the universe). And further proving that the Big Bang Theory was at least feasible. Now, in particle accelerators around the world scientists can "go back in time" by recreating the high energy physics of the early universe. No surprise, they can account for the full evolution of the universe up to until about 1/100 of a second after the Big Bang.
Oh, and don't forget that gravity is "just a theory," but I wouldn't go jumping out of any tall buildings to try to disprove it.

In 1927, the Belgian priest Georges Lemaître was the first to propose that the universe began with the explosion of a primeval atom. His proposal came after observing the red shift in distant nebulas by astronomers to a model of the universe based on relativity. Years later, Edwin Hubble found experimental evidence to help justify Lemaître's theory. He found that distant galaxies in every direction are going away from us with speeds proportional to their distance.

I know that Hubble discovered the expanding universe with the doppler effect (red-shift). I can tell you that your verse from the quran does not prove anything other than it is so vague it can be misconstrued to however the reader feels.

Adam.
The big bang, basically represents, when Jesus, the creator of the universe, through the guidance of his Father, finally flipped the switch on his gizmo thing, he had been thinking about for a bloody long time!!!

Einstein probably, proved by Edwin Hubble, about expansion of galaxies.

I am correcting my errors, peace to the ignorant question asker.as prescribed by the koran.
Who are the WE??? Allah & Muhammad?? Is Allah more than one?? Hiroshima discovered the big bang and it didn't begin life, it ended it.

It's a theory. The big bang is just a theory.
